I know. But I didn’t expect to see so much coming into gaming for it. WWII’s been popular in gaming since… well… WWII. It didn’t take 100 years for it to show up. And it’s been more than 100 years for quite a lot of conflicts and a lot of them don’t have games, either. 😛

Yes a lot of conflicts happened over 100 ago – who knew? But that’s not comparable to a 100 year anniversary – here in the UK at least, there’s been a lot of news coverage of the various memorial events, together with articles, documentaries and even a television series. That’s the kind of stuff that encourages a lot of wargamers to get into a new period that they might have been considering but never gotten round to.
